Since the pandemic, working from home has become the new norm, and with it, wearing pajamas to work. Getting ready for the day used to be a huge part of the daily routine, but now it feels like its given away for the trend of working in the clothes you went to sleep in. And while we're here for staying in our PJs all day, it can be beneficial, both mentally and physically, to put a bit of effort in dressing up for the day, even if you have nowhere to go. Its uplifting in a way that can help with the loneliness that accompanies work from home, and it doesn't hurt to show up to Zoom meetings dressed your best every now and then.

It takes a bit of trial and error to find the right combination of relaxing comfort and presentable business casual, but we've come up with four work from home outfits that embrace both.

The Business Casual

The business casual is one of the easier looks to accomplish, both at home and at work. Looking professional but designed for comfort, business casual can easily be interpreted in any way that best matches your aesthetic. The basics of the business casual usually involve pairing a white button down with jeans and a blazer. Most people like to go a bit further with the look by using bold-colored blazers or patterned blouses underneath. Some people also opt to do the opposite, with casual on top and business on the bottom. Trousers are incredibly popular, both for style and comfort. Pairing them with a neutral colored t-shirt underneath a mini cardigan or fitted sweater is a great way to incorporate the business casual look while working from home.

The Two-Piece Set

The two-piece set is a popular outfit choice both in and out of work. It can be styled for a day in the office as well as grabbing drinks after, so why not style it for working from home? The art of the two-piece set is broad, often taking the form of a pair of long trousers and a matching jacket or vest. A vest two piece set is perfect for the warmer spring and summer days spent working at home, but a blazer and trouser duo is the perfect outfit choice for a work from home fit in the colder months of winter. For an elevated work from home fit, you can pair the vest over the t-shirt from our business casual fit. Two-piece sets are easy to turn into business mode, especially if you're looking at sets that feature trousers with pleated lines or upscale blazers to fit over a simple blouse.

The Sweater Fit

Winter months mean freezing temperatures, and there's no better way to fix a work-from-home fit than with a warm, comfy sweater. Whether you're into fuzzy sweaters or more low key, rib knit sweaters, it's easy to pair each with a pair of lounge trousers or soft denim to create an easy fit to work on your couch. Turtlenecks are all the rage, and the thicker they are, the more at home you'll feel. Sweater dresses are also a great way to integrate the winter style into your work fits, especially when dressed up with a contrasting blazer and matching tights. The best part about the sweater fit is getting to accessorize, especially with cute belts with bold motifs like a heart buckle or in a standout color. Chunky necklaces in gold or silver are another great add on, especially paired with neutral colored turtlenecks.

The Chic Dress

The dress is one of the more versatile work outfits that be dressed up and down, whether you're going into the office our working from home. Its easy to take any sleeveless dress and style it over a long sleeve blouse for more professional settings, or throwing a blazer over it during hotter temperatures to elevate the dress altogether. Dresses are also the perfect work from home outfit since they don't take to much effort, and you don't have to worry about pants underneath (unless its cold and you prefer to match your dress with a pair of tights!). Accessorizing with sheer tights, belts and complementing gold and silver jewelry won't only level up your outfit, but will uplift your spirits while going about the work day from the comfort of your living room.
